  • You find it more difficult to communicate with fatigue, fear and uncertainty in your team.
    ​

  • Your team feels disconnected, losing sight of what’s important and possible.
    ​
  • Aligning your stakeholders is becoming a challenge.

I’ve been to other leadership programs. It was inspiring, but it was difficult to apply what I learned. This program is different. I use what I learned here everyday! And it makes such a difference. My colleagues tell me that I am more energetic, flexible and relate better with my team and clients. Everyone on my team can benefit from this program.

Your Leadership Guide

Emil Ansarov developed the program, and delivers it globally. As a transformation and change management consultant, he has led teams on complex, global transformation initiatives. As a leadership guide, Emil delivers solutions to leaders globally to help them and their teams grow and meet challenges and uncertainty with clarity, impact, resilience and integrity.

How does it work?

​You develop sustainable leadership competencies by challenging your assumptions and bringing mind, heart and body coherence to your daily work. We've created a supporting environment so that you can learn-on-the-job and resolve your specific leadership challenges while developing:
  • Real-time self-awareness & inner-agility
  • Natural leadership authenticity, presence and confidence
  • Creative, growth, and agile mindset
  • Trust and compassion

This is the foundation from which all other leadership skills develop naturally. It is based on the latest research of neuroscience, heart coherence and the science of mindfulness and 20 years of experience working with hundreds of people to elevate their leadership skills.

​Neuroscience gives us clues into what drives our behavior - and what motivates us to change and develop growth and agile mindsets, along with lasting leadership traits and competencies.

Heart coherence is a measurable state of physiological balance, where the mind and heart align. The entire human biological system becomes more regular and stable, which gives us a sense of well-being and helps us perform at higher levels in a truly authentic way.
​
Mindfulness is the science of being focused and present - a process of regulating attention and sharpening the mind, so that you can bring presence and high-resolution awareness to your daily work and switch from reactive to creative behavior.

It was easy to connect with everyone, right from the start. The Zoom sessions were hands-on and I learned a lot. What I found valuable was the instructor leading by an actual example where you can feel that he is being that which he is telling us.

I didn’t know what to expect. My goals were to improve my stress management, self-confidence and to improve my leadership skills because I had a team to lead for the first time. I’ve learned to be a coach and I received many compliments from my team members. I gained more confidence. During my performance review, my boss also told me that she noticed a change in my behavior since starting the program, so for me that was a really big win. And it is not just others; I also feel that I am not the same person. What is most important is to be myself.  And now I am myself. I’m me with my strengths and weaknesses. I can see a big difference between the start of the class and now and I am very thankful. Tools that I have been given are part of my daily life, and there is not a day when I do not use what I’ve learned.
